5. A Golden Egg by Jesse James and Chris Atherton

5. A Golden Egg by Jesse James and Chris Atherton

In stark contrast to the sheer horror of the above came the third-eye squee-geeing majesty of A Golden Egg, which was initially released in late March in limited physical numbers before debuting online in time for April Fool’s Day, (appropriately). Now for those of you unaware of Jesse James and Avi – watching the following video for the first time without any prior knowledge of their approach to skateboarding is probably akin to shoving A4 sheets of acid underneath your eyelids and watching Bagpuss backwards with a telly strapped to your face. Put simply – this is skateboarding as joy. Nothing else.

Not so much ‘thinking outside the box’, as realizing that, ‘there is no box’.

Pulling in nearly 60k views and even being featured on the fucking Berrics of all places, Accrington’s most beloved mycophile truly excelled himself here with a barrage of visuals designed to give the most stoic straight edge bellend a whitey.

Unsurprisingly, the Internet reaction to this was almost 100% positive, even from those who didn’t understand it.
